I've always wanted to visit the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. On the way to SPX last week I was finally able to stop there with my publishers. It's one of the best museums I've ever been to. I definitely recommend a visit to anyone who finds themselves in the area.

Tomorrow (sept. 17th) I'm flying to Brooklyn, NY ridiculously early to draw in copies of my brand new book The Understanding Monster, Book 3 and the delux edition Re-release of Capacity at Grumpy Bert at 82 Bond St. from 7-9pm. Then I'm driving down to Bethesda, MD for the Small Press Expo (SPX) on Saturday and Sunday. If you can, come on out and say hi! I'll have lots of extra art goodness to give out too! Very excited for this trip!

The Missoula Monster Project at the Zootown Arts Community Center felt like a huge success. 200 artists making monsters inspired by Kindergarden students from 3 different local schools. Here's the woodcut piece I made for it next to the original inspiration. The show is huge and mind boggling and definitely deserves repeated visits.
